Trip Indroduction
Nirmal Pokhari Hike is always a good idea for your vacation in Nepal because it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller. Nirmal Pokhari Hike is an alternative hiking destination for those seeking a moment outside the city with fewer visitors, but with great views of nature and good food. It is also for this reason the village site is blooming to practice outdoor meditation. The village is about 10 kilometers south from Pokhara at an altitude of 1450m. The view of Pokhara valley along with rivers and lakes at the foothills of the extensive Himalayan range is a scenic beauty from Nirmal Pokhari. All three lakes of Pokhara: Rupa Tal, Begnas Tal, and Fewa Tal can be spotted from the top. Villages of nearby districts, including Syangja, are also visible from the viewpoint of Nirmal Pokhari.
Hiking to Nirmal Pokhari begins from the point near Gupteshwor cave, which is just 10 minutes drive from Lakeside of Pokhara. On the way, there are beautiful scenes of villages and deep rivers gorges over the ridge. The scenic table like cliffs reminds us of the great Tibetan plateau, instead, it is much greener. The trail crosses rivers over bridges, passes paddy rice fields, and goes through the green forest on off-beat tracks. The trip ends at Dobilla or Dhungesaun which lies on the way to Kristi village. Other option to reach Nirmal Pokhari Village in Pokhara includes taking a local bus service that runs every 2 hours. There are also taxi services or jeeps to hire to reach the village.

The food here is organic, directly harvested from their farms and gardens. Visitors can experience the daily lifestyle of villagers doing household chores or working in the farms during the Homestay program in Nirmal Pokhari.
